Today was Election Primary day in Illinois.
Did I vote? No. Why? Because in Illinois, you must declare a party to vote, something I refuse to do. I believe in choosing a candidate based on merit and not party. Depending on the race, I may choose to vote for the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate - whoever I think will best represent me.
The laws must be changed.
Now, when it comes to the full-bore elections, hell yes I vote.
I hate this time of year just because of the political commercials on radio and TV. I'd love to see a restricted time frame for advertising - like only the 6 weeks leading-up to an election. I hate the ads - I feel many are confusing and misleading.
So, we get a slight reprieve for now, as the ads will slowly ramp-up toward November.
Still not much to do. We were supposed to have enough work for all of us to work a full day, but yesterday was a half day and today was not only a half-day, it was an optional day of work. If you didn't want to come in, you didn't have to. Sucks from a pocketbook perspective.
Speaking of which, we've got something in the works that I may talk about in the coming weeks...
